Well fuck...good luck.

I'd hate to see the place go. I hope we can all join up some place else.

Doomer, if you need any $$$ help, let me know (no strings).

Nothing like DM's usual subtle welcome. Is this because I didn't bring flowers when visiting?

I hear CyriC is looking for you.

I hear zombies are asking for a refund.

I have a free VPS server from work, so it really won't cost anything.

I'm going to be moving the database to the new server regardless, even if we don't secure the q3w domain. It will look and feel exactly the same, just wouldn't be called q3w. Hopefully they'll be willing to work with us regarding the domain name though.

If we don't get the domain name, the bright side is that it will give us an opportunity to expand our tiny community where it would be impossible to do so with IGN and being shackled to the official quake 3 community status.

We wouldn't really even need to keep it Quake 3 focused, we can do whatever the fuck we want. I think I'm for keeping it Quake related, but I will probably make a thread asking for opinions later on since this is OUR site.

Yeah we could call it Kracus24world.... it's catchy!

Regarding the "official quake 3 community status"...if/when the day comes to reinvent the forum site, will the level editing community still have some place to go? Just curious.

And when the change is made....can we post boobies?

You might even be able to have your own /b/

I think most of the rules are going to stay the same, some people like browsing while at work.

If we were to go crazy and reinvent this site, the guideline to follow would be that it can't alienate parts of our existing community, and it must remain focused. This ain't the Forumzzzz. The only way to do this in my mind would be keeping it much like it is now. If there are any ideas out there that aren't stupid, prepare them for later.

I would imagine that keeping the domain would require keeping the same rules

DooMer wrote:This ain't the Forumzzzz.

Holy shit, I had forgotten about that.

Yeah, I agree that we should keep the same rules. If we were allowed to just go wild and post whatever, it would totally change the atmosphere of this place. I'd like to keep it as pure as possible. Plus, there's plenty of porn sites out there if you want boobies...

one of my concerns is being able to get a steady stream of newcomers to the site. people are always going to slowly leave a forum, but having the quake name allowed us to get people to come by. even if some of thsoe newbies were very peenyuh-ish, i think its pretty necessary to have newcomers in order to keep the forum (somewhat) vibrant.

lol

I was only kidding about teh posting of the boobies. Truth be told, if I posted my boobies you fags simply couldn't handle the soft, supple, hairy texture and - most likely - I'd be singularly responsible for turning all you fags gay.

Oh boy. You've just invited the limp-wristed wrath of Beanyuh and his comical genius. Prepare yourself..it gets ugly.

whoa
well, the new site should I think still be like it is now, same rules n everything.
while it shouldnt be specifically q3related, it should stay gamerelated instead of just a place for the same homos to hang out.

so in conclusion, what chup said

Last active email address I had for him was his planetdoom one; which either stopped working or I lost when I had a drive crash. If you can PM me one for him, I'll get in contact with him.

Eh. I've been dealing with life. I've been working on some writing for possible publication while working a normal job. Other than that, not too damn much. Was really shocked to see most of the folks still here.

Actually, that was pretty funny. I never saw that coming.
